From the list above the area where I feel weakest is in forgiveness. I'm not as good at that as I'd like to be, I have a long memory and feel that my life would be better if I learned to forgive more. I can forgive easily when people apologise, but when people are non-repentant I find it very difficult to forgive them, which only harms me and not them.

theres only 9 here not 10

Sometimes I fail on number 5
If you're polite, kind and understanding when dealing with others.

99% of the time I am but if under severe pressure or stress I can lose it and get pretty blunt with people..

If i will going to judge myself i don't know if I am good. Ofcourse we can never tell that, only other person can said that to you. But upon checking on your list i think i slightly failed on number 7. If a person harm/hurt me it will stock on my mind, but if that person ask a forgiveness i will definitely forgive that person then forget everything "But" there will be a limitation.

Well , to be fair , I can not follow the above totally sometimes. I confess there are some people who are unselfish and maybe I am unnoticed ,but I am not so generous.

I think I am weak with the third one. I never try hard or extensive to help other people but I do try my best, because that feeling is priceless when you help or support someone.

...they sometimes say that succesful people are driven by a desire for revenge. Be interested in people's take on that.

When you read about or listen to successful people, they will generally put a positive slant on their success and talk about the positive things that motivated them. They are less likely to talk about their negative motivations, but that doesn't mean they don't have them.

Personally I find that I'm more motivated and energised by positive emotions, negative emotions produce negative energy, which is not healthy in the long term. I feel that I could only be successful once I have dealt with my "demons" and learned to be more positive. Other people however, are driven by such things as the desire for revenge or insecurity.

I like to think I'm a good person generally but nobody's perfect! I have my good days and bad, same as everyone else.

Forgiveness I struggle with and more so if it's over something big. Small things I can forgive and forget easily, especially if I know the person was under pressure and stressed out in some way. However if you really hurt me to the core, it takes me forever to get past that. I may eventually forgive but I never forget.
